Troy A. Miller, President & CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), has issued a statement on new data released by Dr. George Barna as part of the American Worldview Inventory 2024.
The following statement is attributable to Troy A. Miller, President & CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters:
“It is shocking to learn from a new Barna survey that ‘theologically-defined Evangelicals are no more likely than anyone else to be attentive to news about politics and government,’ with less than half reporting that they follow these kinds of current events.
“The study also confirms that around one-third of Evangelicals do not participate in elections, which means that the voices of Evangelicals may be missing by the millions in the 2024 presidential election.
“In Scripture, we are told to be ‘wise as serpents and innocent as doves.’ This critical time in the life of our nation is no time for Christians to tune out. If we relinquish our responsibility to help steward the nation we call home, conflicting and opposing values will prevail in civic life. As the saying goes, you may not have an interest in politics, but politics has an interest in you.
“Disinterest, disengagement, and disconnection by the people of God will not help lead our nation back to God. I applaud NRB’s members for using their media platforms every day to reach listeners and viewers with Biblical truth, insight, and analysis. There has never been a more important time for Christian media leaders to work together to get Evangelicals across the nation equipped and engaged.”
